Today we met in A-232 where we will meet each Thursday. On Tuesdays, we will meet in CCV-200 (the portable). In class we reviewed MLA for essays and read an essay about it. In groups and as a class we then completed several assignments on the topic.
No one had their textbooks, so we went on-line and found songs about Hurricane Katrina, students were then asked to do a literal paraphrase on a stanza or the hook and post it below at the link.
Homework was to continue the in-class assignment and expand it to include a synopsis of the song and where the paraphrase fits in.
Other homework is to bring in one of Michael Jackson's songs to share the thesis. Students can also share a dance video--again, you would have to analyze it. If anyone wants to share an article about birthday celebrations, Sunday, August 29, this is fine as well. Michael would have been 52. What was Michael Jackson's artistic impact on the industry he was a part of? What did he contribute and what did he change or improve? Now that he is not longer with us, what is now gone forever?
You will post this assignment later or you can post it before. It is your choice.

Hurricane Katrina
A While ago I heard a song for hurricane Katrina called Tie My hands. A collaboration from Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke. One of my favorite lyrics was "Take away the football team, the basketball team now all we got is me to represent new orleans". It shows how much was taken away, even though it's just sport teams to some people thats everything. It gets deeper and you can substitute your own meaningful things that were taken away. This is a really good song and I recommend everyone to listen to it.
